All state lottos without the option of claiming anon go by the name as it appears on your last filed tax returns. They want to give all possible creditors such as IRS, Child support, lien holders, mortgage providers, foreclosure attorney etc. a fair opportunity to catch up with your defaulting ass.

Do you have a link to various, or any, state lottery documentation saying they will go by the name on your last tax return? Or that they would post old plus new name?

All those places that need to know about your money will know, because whether you have your original name of Jake Smith or new name of Mike Sherman you will have the same SSN. Also I don't see why they would post Jake Smith's name, as he didn't win. Legally, Mike Sherman won. It's his name on the ticket.

I'll accept that I'm wrong if you can post sources, but I just don't see why they would post a name other than the legal name of the winner. You never see a married womans name released as June Carter aka June Cash.

ok so collect with your current name... move someplace small... change your name... move again... change your name again... then move some place finally and rest there... of course you will have to remember all your name changes and hope that you dont get old-timers...
